Hoole arrived in the Cape as a child, with his father and two siblings in 1820, and in the ensuing years was involved in the frontier wars of 1835 and 1846. He was a prominent businessman of the eastern frontier region of the Cape Colony and settled in Grahamstown.
In 1866, Hoole was elected to represent the Eastern Province of the Cape, in the upper house of the Cape Parliament, the Legislative Council. He served until Governor Philip Wodehouse dissolved both houses to combat the "responsible government" movement (which Hoole also opposed) in 1869.
He was re-elected the next year in 1870, but only kept his seat until 1872, when the Responsible Government movement successfully took over.
On 18 May 1816 James Cotterell Hoole was born to James Hoole Sr and Jane Cotterell in Soho, London, England. Growing up Hoole had one older sibling and one younger sibling. On 3 December 1819 at the age of three Hoole moved to Grahamstown, Eastern Cape, South Africa. After moving to Eastern Cape James Hoole Sr and Jane Cotterell had four more children.
